Six Times Jessica Alba Made Us Feel Pretty

Some celebrities bring you down a notch. Jessica A isn't one of them.

Jessica Alba is kind of ridiculous.

For starters, she’s incredibly beautiful. Like, stupidly so. She’s also genuinely sweet (yep, we’ve chatted to her in person). And her makeup, skin and baby care line The Honest Company is worth a snappy billion dollars. Yes. A BILLION dollars. Forbes Magazine reported that Jessica owns between 15 to 20 per cent of the company. And if that’s true, she’s sitting on a self-made personal fortune of roughly US$200 million. Sigh.

No wonder we’re addicted to following her every move, particularly over Insta where she regularly passes on beauty tips. Like to see a few? Click through for our favourites.

Beach Babe Waves

Those beautiful beach-style waves aren’t 100 per cent natural. Turns out Jess likes to use a curling wand. To get Jess’ loose curls, take small sections of hair from around the face and twist around the barrel. Hold for 30 seconds then release. Oh and curl from the mid-length down only.

Sun Protection

Yes, we all know we need to wear a sunscreen every single day no matter the weather. But when Jessica hits the beach she steps it up a notch by protecting her eyes with over-sized specs (cool ones of course) and a floppy hat. No wonder she still looks amazing.

Balayage

This colour trend just will not die and one look at Jess’ full, sexy shiny locks and it’s easy to see why. Because balayage combines various colour shades it looks as natural as can be. Plus, it’s low maintenance with the darker shades towards the top so no tell-tale roots!

Semi Matte Lipstick

Yes, matte is all the rage and it has been for some time but it’s nowhere near as flattering as a rich, hydrating, creamy lipstick. Jess knows this yet she still loves matte so she created demi-matte lipsticks that are on trend yet rich and hydrating too.

Beautiful Blush

All women look better with a touch of creamy blush massaged into the apples of the cheeks. Jess likes a natural, rosy pink which flatters her gorgeous olive skin. The great news is this shade works well on everyone. And cream is dead easy to apply.

Meditation Mama

Taking a moment to just breathe is good for the soul. It’s also an excellent way to reduce stress and tension which only ups the pretty factor. Jess likes to meditate as often as possible and we applaud her for it. Try it today. Simply breathe in for a count of four, out for a count of four and gradually increase to eight.
